Il Mania for Mems Clothes.

The women of San Francisco are be-
ing seized with the mania of wearing
mems clothes. There have been many
more scandals of this character lately
than have ever got into the columns of
the daily press. There is something
delightfully."- morbid about reversing
ones sex. And there are few things
delightfully."- morbid to which the women
of San Francisco have not attained.
Nothing, indeed, shows how fast this
gay young town is becoming old in sin
like Paris, Vienna, and Berlin. The
strangest thing about it all is that wo-
men think they are disguised when
dressed up as men. Even the ingenious
Nine. Dudevant George SanO thought
to enter Tappisa monastery disguised
rs young man. Her failure to do this
is historic. Sir" said the porter,
gravely, 1--WE do not permit ladies to
enter here.n

Gar Celestial Maids,

During the holiday season the
Chinese girls, says San Francisco
paper, are particularly gay in their
dress. One Oriental damsel, who was
airing herself and her tinery simul-
taneously recently on Dupont street,
wore pale-il:i.a silk coat with huge
funnel-like sleeves, trimmed with black
and pale yellow silk braid. Her
trousers We're of black silk, also boz
dered with pale yellow; her boat-like
sabots We're embroidered with blne
silk, and the deep white soles provide
an area of about three square inches for
the maid to stand erect upon. Another
Celestial maiden was similarly dressed,
except that the garment which among
Christians is peculiar to males was OF a
gorgeous orange silk, and her stock
ings, evidently of American make,
were of red silk, with clocks up the
side

ture to have something to call our own,
to do with as we like, must be gratifed,
and crafty it we will in one way or an
other or die in the attempt.
Could not mother, without loss of
dignity, divide her dominion, irving
each daughter province of her OWL !?
Even a room in which she can do ex-
actly as she pleases and exercise her
individual taste will do much toward
making her happy, and the daughters
must be happy as well as the sons.
Wo hear and read much on the sub
iect of making home pleasant for the
girls. There is species of injustice
about this which those who have not
observed girls and their ways closely
may not have seen. They, too, have
temptations and many little trials and
difficulties to overcome, and of them it
is required that they shall be always
cheerful and amiable
There is another family with one un-
married daughter still at home. She
does much of the housekeeping and
the family sewing, but her recreation,
that which she loves above all else, is
her pallet and brush; and yet even her
time is not her own. She has but one
uninterrupted hour during the day.
Patiently day after day she puts aside
her canvas to fit on mothers dress or
sew on fathers buttons, or see that the
spare room is made ready for mothers
friends, and day after day and week
after week the work she longed to do
has to be put off till some future time
which never comes.
This young woman is type of q
class whose burdens are heavy because
made up of numberless trihes. Can we
not by little more thought for her
who thinks SO often for others add
something to her pleasures?

SHE DID NOT FoRGET 70 SCREAM.

Speaking of skirts, is not the way in
which women are tied hand and foot by
their clothing accountable for large share
of their queer actions? A most ludicrous
sight was Witnessed in Scollay square some
days ago, though it was probably anything
but ludicrous TO the principal actor therein.
A lady was crossing the square md fell
when, looking up, she saw the horses of nm
approaching dray about fifteen feet away
from her. Then, of course, she screamed.
When she tried to get up she stepped on
her skirt and fell down again and screamed
once more. This was repeated several
times, until she gave up trying to rise, and
simply lay still and screamed. Some gen
tlemen near by hastened to her assistance
and helped her into q neighboring store.
The driver of the dray had stopped his
horses as soon as the lady fell, and at no
time did they approach within six feet of
her.-BOstOn Record
